About Us

Yes, We Are Open!

February 1, 2022

The RFL is pleased to announce that we will now be open to public browsing once again! Browsing and computer use will no longer be by appointment only, and materials can be checked out at the front desk.


Masks continue to be required, and we ask patrons to limit their time in the building to 30 minutes at a time.


We will also be limiting computer users to 2 at a time, and the children’s section to 2 family groups at a time.


We are excited to see our patrons again and to continue to provide services to our community in this capacity once more!


Want to be sure you get the most up to date info about the library’s hours and services? Join our email list by signing up on our website, https://newport.lib.nh.us/
